If I were to replace mine I think I'd opt for Alcantara. I'm sure Jack at Royal could soon sort one out.

Agreed

Maybe we should ask for a "group buy" from Jack ?

finally got the bits on the car and looks much bette with new grip and leather cover:

went to brands yesterday to watch mate race in saloon cup awesome action.

put some new bolts and nuts around engine bay to tidy up (things like headlight holder nuts that always rust)

200 Cell CATS are back on. bit quieter, less free at top end but car no longer stinks of fuel. it used to go like a stabbed rat after 4k rpm with no cats to block and induction roar was much louder. its not a track car so back to OEM.

Looks great for an old dog.

Can you post up the part numbers for bolts/screws and hand real items. I need same!

oil n filter change today as was over a year old. thanks to Scotts Performance in Dartford.

was not too bad a colour and only 2k miles old:

guess where my finger has been

car took around 6.5 liters of Castrol TWS (10/60) to get it to the 1.0 marker on the measurement. does that sound about right?

Interior trim back to OEM colour (titan Shadow)

also tried out the SMG area in alcantara which matches the steering wheel and handbrake grip. Carbon dipped stuff is off.

Over and out, DC
